I think spreading the cleric emblems between them would work just fine. You can always reset if you end up needing/using one more than the other.
I’m in a non-competitive alliance and don’t aim for the top 1% of anything. There are a few classes, fighter and sorcerer for example, which merit taking talents as high as I can. For the others, survivIng long enough to fire off specials is more important to me. Emblems to 6 or 9 helps tremendously.
